The DNSServiceCreateConnection() function allows the crea-
tion of a connection to the mDNS daemon in order to register multiple individual records. The DNSServiceRegisterRecord() function uses the connection created by DNSServiceCreateConnection() to register a record.

be handled by the client in the callback. The DNSServiceAddRecord() call adds a DNS record to a registered service. The name of the record is the same asregistered service name. The RecordRef argument to DNSServi-
ceAddRecord() points to an uninitialized DNSRecordRef. After successful completion of DNSServiceAddRecord(), the DNS record can be updated or deregistered by passing theDNSRecordRef initialized by DNSServiceAddRecord() to DNSSer-
viceUpdateRecord() or to DNSServiceRemoveRecord().
The DNSServiceUpdateRecords() call updates the DNS record of the registered service. The DNS record must be the primary resource record registered using DNSServiceRegister() or arecord added to a registered service using DNSServiceAd-
dRecord() or an individual record added via DNSServiceRe-
gisterRecord().The DNSServiceRemoveRecord() call removes a record that was
added using DNSServiceAddRecord() or DNSServiceRegister-
Record(). The sdRef argument points to DNSServiceRef initialized from a call to DNSServiceRegister(). If the sdRef argument ispassed to DNSServiceRefDeallocate() and the service is dere-
gistered DNS records added via DNSServiceAddRecord() are invalidated and cannot be further used. The flags argument is currently ignored and reserved for future use. The rrtypeparameter value indicates the type of the DNS record. Suit-
able values for the rrtype parameter are defined inargument points to the raw rdata to be contained in the resource record. The ttl value indicates the time to live of the resource record in seconds. A ttl value of 0 should be passed to use a default value.
